Abstract: The palm‐oil industry produces large amounts of solid wastes. Shell and fiber wastes are used extensively as fuel for steam production in palm‐oil mills. After combustion, a large quantity of ash is produced and creates ...

Abstract: Sludge is an unavoidable by‐product of wastewater treatment. For highly urbanized cities, incineration of sludge might be a viable means of sludge disposal; however, a substantial amount of ash is produced by the burning ...

Abstract: Sludge resulting from wastewater treatment plants creates problems of disposal. Generally, dewatered sludges are disposed of by spreading on the land or by landfilling. However, for highly urbanized cities, sludge disposal ...

Abstract: Refuse incineration plants with energy recovery have been successfully operated in a developing country. Waste heat recovered from the boilers can be used to generate electricity; 155 kwh of electricity could be generated ...

Abstract: Oxidative assimilation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) includes the interrelated processes of catabolism and anabolism. It has been demonstrated that energy uncoupling is a dominant characteristic of substrate-sufficient ...

Abstract: Anaerobic biological wastewater treatment systems are difficult to model because their performance is complex and varies significantly with different reactor configurations, influent characteristics, and operational ...

Abstract: Three laboratory reactors, that is, an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor, an anaerobic filter, and an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, of identical size and operated under identical conditions, were studied by focusing ...

Abstract: Based on a fuzzy logic method, fuzzy stability index

Abstract: The disposal of sewage sludge for modern municipalities represents an ever‐increasingly difficult problem. Feasibility studies on the use of sludge to produce cement as a means of ultimate sludge disposal has been initiated. ...

Abstract: Sludge is a by‐product of municipal wastewater treatment. Its disposal problems could be drastically reduced if sludge could be converted for economical uses as substitute materials. Dewatered sludge, after incineration ...
